We must demand our right to be free of pollution. To take a stand for our health and the health of the planet. We will write proposals that reflect our intelligent demands, so that our kids and all within our community may share and participate in an abundant and prosperous world. Let us dispel the myth of scarcity and reclaim our planet. We are the 99%. We make the decisions now that will affect the course of the entire planetary community.
